Match preview from BBC Sport:

Summer signing Jordan Roberts has missed Inverness Caledonian Thistle's trip to face Astra with a groin injury.
Defender Carl Tremarco and midfielder James Vincent will again miss out along with goalkeeper Dean Brill, who is a long-term absentee.
The Romanians won the first leg of the second qualifying round tie 1-0 at Caledonian Stadium.
Caley Thistle captain Richie Foran is pushing for a starting place after scoring in a friendly with Nairn.
The versatile 35-year-old Irishman was on the sidelines through injury for 16 months but played the final minutes at Caledonian Stadium in the first leg.
Astra, meanwhile, lost 5-1 at home in Liga 1 on Sunday, a win that took Targu Mureş to the top of the table after two games.
Marius Șumudica's side have yet to win domestically having lost to Mioveni in the Romanian Cup and drawn at home with Concordia Chiajna in the league.

Whoever wins on aggregate after Thursday's second leg will face either West Ham United or Maltese side Birkikara, with the English Premier League outfit having struggled to a 1-0 win in the first leg in London.
Inverness Caledonian Thistle midfielder Danny Williams: "We are not going over there for a holiday.
"We want to put a performance in and get through to the next round.
"It will be tough with the heat, it's something we are not used to, but we are looking forward to it.
"This is new to me, like it is for a lot of the lads. We all couldn't wait to get back for this game.
"We worked so hard for it last season, finishing third and winning the Cup final, so we can get into Europe.
"We will go there and give 100 per cent and try to get a result."
"I thought we had the better chances. Apart from the set piece and when they hit the post, we limited their chances.
"We could have been a bit more clinical with our finishing, but it's only half-time."
